Nothing beats an MFJ 259 or 259B Analyzer. I had a Palomar Tuner Tuner and did not like it. I have the MFJ 259 hooked up to a jack on an ant. switch. All I do is switch the 259 in line set the freq.
I would try to reseat the display to the board. You will find a row of pins on each side of the display board. The pins stop making good contact after a number of years. Be very careful and work each
John, I have a Corsair II and an OMNI V. On an outboard meter I have always had stronger and higher voice peaks on the Corsair II. I have used different mics and have found that the Corsair II is str
I hope you are using a Ten Tec supply. It sounds like you are not. A Ten Tec supply would trip its internal breaker at that SWR. If you are not using a Ten Tec supply I would highly suggest an inline
The problem in using a Corsair II supply is that I think it only supplies 18 amps. I may be wrong but I think the OMNI V, VI, and Paragons use the 20 amp supply. The Corsair II supply will work as a
Airpax breaker for Paragon and OMNI V and VI is Part # T11-1-20.OA-01-10A-V This is the "fast" breaker. It is the same as the 1140 which is no longer made. Make sure you get the fast and not the inst
Japanese radios fold back power with a bad SWR and Ten Tec do not. Be careful you don't blow your finals on full output key down if your SWR is high. Ten Tec's use a fuse in the power supply to contr
Mike, I think he is putting RF into a high SWR and his rigs are folding back the ALC. The Ten Tec's don't fold back they rely on a breaker that trips when the PA's draw 22 amps. He must not be using
Yes, Mike. Now we know what was going on once he explained it a little better. I had a TS 180s that at had to see a perfect, flat, SWR to put out full output. Like Ten Tecs better. Glad we were able
Mark, he tried that and says it does not key the amp. I told Rick that the Relay(N O) RCA is the one I use. He may have a bad RCA plug, phono cable, or someone without an amp disabled the relay becau
I have been having a problem on my Corsair II with gurgle on SSB voice peaks. I believe the gauge of wire from my Astron 35M to the Corsair II to be #14. That is the way I got it from previous owner.
Normal Gary. Ic only reads Ic on transmit. Should show about 18 volts into 50 ohm dummy load at full output. Dan/N4VET ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
That is what I am thinking. I am making one up for #10. I am having a very hard time getting the pins out of the Molex plug without a Molex tool. This may have to wait a few days until I locate one.
It is the #14 wire in this case. But, I feel like you do. That Molex plug is about as bad as it gets. TT would have been better off providing wire screw twist caps. I think even they would make a bet
A thanks to all on the list who responded with all the helpful information about the power supply wire gauge question. Dan/N4VET ** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
Well, I now have a #12 gauge wire of 5' for the positive and negative from the power supply to the Corsair II. All problems have gone away. In fact the bulb on the meter no longer dims and no more gu
